> [@Gadarene](#): > > Night ends tomorrow morning. Day Three is slated to end on Saturday at noon. oh ok that’s not too horrible. after playing in this longer format for just a couple game days, i’ve found it easy to adjust to the slower pace and might actually prefer it. it’s nice to be able to read the thread after work, catch up on things, and know that in the unlikely event that I have a relevant thought I can actually post it. 😛 ---

The game moves a bit faster and the nights are not so long. A bit more work to keep up but I like this pace too. \*is that chanting I hear and doves flying I see \* ---

(Not for cracked tho 🙂 ) I do like having days last more than one rl day, if for no other reason than it makes it a hell of a lot easier on people not in the U.S. to participate. ---

I think I prefer the shorter version too. It’s a lot of work but you don’t have to sit for hours with no one to talk to. ---
